Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to pallets and more particularly to an improved nestable pallet.
  • Pallets are often used to store and transport goods.
  • the pallets maintain the goods at a distance above the floor such that they can be readily lifted and moved by a fork of a lift truck.
  • Some pallets have stringers or double decks forming openings which receive the forks of the lift truck.
  • Other pallets are nestable within one another to facilitate storage and transport when empty.
  • nestable pallets have openings in their upper surface, which receive corresponding feet of a similar nestable pallet. Thus, the nestable pallets occupy less space for storage and transport when empty.
  • a nestable pallet includes a deck from which a plurality of hollow feet extend downwardly. An opening through the deck leads into the interior of each of the feet, such that the feet of a similar pallet can be nested therein when empty. At least some of the feet are positioned at outer edges of the pallet, such that an outer wall of the foot is the outermost wall of the pallet. As an example, in the embodiment disclosed, a portion of one wall of the foot is shared with a portion of a peripheral lip extending about the periphery of the pallet. Thus, there is a single wall thickness between the interior of the column and the exterior surface of the deck of the pallet at those locations.
  • a plurality of ribs may be added on the inner surface of the wall in the interior of the foot.
  • the feet each include a channel along one side of its exterior surface.
  • the channel is complementary to a protrusion of the deck into a corresponding opening through the deck at the top of the foot.
  • the protrusion is received within the channel of the foot of a similar pallet nesting therein when empty.
  • the channel increases the rigidity of the foot, while the complementary protrusion provides more secure nesting between empty pallets.
  • a nestable pallet 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figure 1 .
  • the pallet 10 includes a generally planar deck 12 from which a plurality of feet 14, 16, 18, 20 extend downwardly.
  • the feet include corner feet 14, end feet 16, side feet 18, and a center foot 20.
  • the deck 12 includes a planar upper panel 22 having a plurality of openings 30 therethrough, each aligned with one of the feet 14, 16, 18, 20.
  • a plurality of openings 24 for drainage and for handling are formed through the deck 12.
  • a peripheral wall or lip 26 is formed about the periphery of the deck 12.
  • the pallet 10 is preferably integrally molded as a single piece via injection molding or other suitable processes.
  • each of the corner feet 14 and side feet 18 have an exterior wall 32, a portion of which is formed by the peripheral lip 26.
  • the exterior wall 32 of the feet 14, 18 is a single wall thickness having an inner surface defining an interior of the foot 14, 18 and an exterior surface defining an outer most surface of the peripheral lip 26 and the pallet 10.
  • ribs 34 may be added to the interior, within the feet 14, 18.
  • the ribs 34 may comprise a plurality of ribs 34 that are parallel and vertically oriented, as shown in the feet 14. In the embodiment shown, only a single rib 34 is necessary for the side feet 18.
  • this permits the feet 14 to be very close to the side edges, so that the pallet 10 can be as narrow as possible in this dimension while still permitting forks to be received between the feet 14, 16.
  • Figure 3 is a top view of the pallet 10. As shown, the feet 14 may include interior ribs 40 to strengthen the feet. As shown, the feet 16, 20 may also include interior ribs 40.
  • Figure 4 is a section taken along 4-4 of Figure 3 . As shown, a portion of the exterior wall 32 of the foot 14 includes a portion of the peripheral lip 26. The ribs 34 (one shown) are formed on the interior surface of the peripheral lip portion 26. Thus, there is only a single wall thickness (i.e. exterior wall 32/ peripheral lip 26) between the interior of the foot 14 and the exterior of the pallet 10.
  • FIG 5 is a bottom perspective view of the pallet 10. As shown, a plurality of ribs 42 are formed integrally with the panel 22 ( Figure 1 ) to form the deck 12, which is capable of supporting a stack of goods.
  • a pallet 110 according to a second embodiment is shown in Figure 6 .
  • the pallet 10 includes a deck 112 from which a plurality of feet 114 extend downwardly.
  • the corner feet 114 each include a channel 115 formed on an exterior surface of an interior wall of the foot 114.
  • the corresponding opening 130 of the foot 114 has a complementary protrusion 131 into the opening 130.
  • the protrusion 131 is received in the channel 115 of the upper pallet.
  • the complementary shapes and slight interlocking of the feet 114 with the openings 130 provide stronger and more stable feet 114 and more secure nesting of empty pallets 110.
  • the corner feet 114 and side feet 18 may have a single wall thickness outer wall 132, as in the first embodiment. Although shown without the ribs 34 of Figures 1-5 , the pallet 110 could also include similar ribs on the inner surface of the walls 132 (ribs 134 shown in phantom as an option in corner foot 114a).
  • the pallet 110 is shown with optional reinforcements in the deck in the form of channels 150 having downwardly extending walls 152 and downwardly extending perpendicular walls 154.
